Abstract

Judicial officers do not consistently include victim impact reports (VIRS) because of internal and external factors experienced in securing such victim impact reports. This results in the inconsistent inclusion of VIRS during the criminal justice process, which in turn hinders the promotion of victim rights. A qualitative study explored judicial officers’ experiences of including VIRS during the criminal justice process. Findings alluded to the lack of legislation, a gap in the literature and a need for specialised victim services. A need for guidelines was identified to expand on the victim empowerment programme for social workers, enabling them to work within the criminal justice system  and to include VIRS during the criminal justice process.

司法官员在刑事司法程序中纳入受害人影响报告的经验
由于在获得受害者影响报告方面经历的内部和外部因素,司法官员没有一贯地包括受害者影响报告。这导致在刑事司法程序中不一致地纳入受害者权利,这反过来又阻碍了促进受害者权利。一项质性研究探讨了司法人员在刑事司法过程中纳入VIRS的经验。调查结果暗示缺乏立法,文献上有空白,需要专门的受害者服务。确定有必要制定准则,扩大社会工作者的受害者赋权方案,使他们能够在刑事司法系统内工作,并在刑事司法程序中纳入受害者赋权方案。
